However, the Northern Ireland international has chosen to spend more time with his family and is unsure about his next steps.
Sources indicate that the departure is “amicable.”
Evans’s exit marks the end of a 19-year connection with his boyhood club.
The former centre-back joined United’s academy at the age of ten and made his first-team debut in 2008 before transferring to West Brom in 2015.
During his time at Old Trafford, Evans secured three Premier League titles and was part of the Champions League-winning squad in 2008.
He returned to Manchester United after being released by Leicester City in 2023, where he contributed to the club's FA Cup victory in 2024.
Evans initially returned on a short-term contract after training with the U21s to regain his fitness.
He ended up playing in 43 matches over two years under Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim, becoming a key player, especially under the Dutch manager.
The academy graduate appeared as a guest on Monday Night Football last month, where he analyzed Amorim’s tactics.
He started in Amorim’s first match in charge, which ended in a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town.
His final appearance for the Red Devils was to conclude the season.
Christian Eriksen converted a penalty in that match after Evans declined the opportunity to take it during his farewell at Old Trafford.
